It may be that the result that the Atlético de Madrid registered before Liverpool It was a bit disappointing. Defeat always is, but since the matter ended up going wrong, the mattress team has reason for optimism. The performance of several footballers was remarkable. It is the case of Rodrigo De Paul. The Argentine player begins to take on stripes in the rojiblanco team.
It was no coincidence that Diego Simeone put him in front of him Liverpool. The former player of Udinese He is a footballer with an experience, a hierarchy and a know-how that few can match. It mattered little that in his case he arrived after two weeks with Argentina and all the possible minutes with his selection in the qualifying commitments for the Qatar World Cup. In the case of Luis Suarez, similar to yours, the Cholo He chose not to place him at the beginning, something that he did with the Argentine.
And the data and the sensations supported the decision. The Argentine held the center of the field with a remarkable hierarchy. His ability to steal and quickly deliver the ball in depth created a lot of problems when Liverpool.
He was the footballer who generated the most chances for his teammates, along with Joao Felix, both with two. After the 1-2, De Paul put a 30-meter ball to leave only Griezmann in a heads up with Alisson Becker. There, the Brazilian won the game against the Frenchman but the play made it clear why Simeone bet on the Argentine in the core. It took him five seconds to steal the ball from Mané and put together a pass that was half a goal.
And in the second half, again his ability to think and execute in tenths of a second earned him to make an unlikely wall to Carrasco that left the Belgian alone in the area to cross before Alisson. Again, the Brazilian covered well.
YOUR DATA
The data collected by Opt They point out that he was the player who gave the most good passes in depth –two-, the one who received the most fouls –three-, recovered five balls and lost ten, touched the ball 36 times with 18 good passes. It may seem like a low ratio for a medium, but it is that the Argentine risked in many passes to generate danger. Without a doubt, a quality that few have.
From Paul He let see the image of the ‘albiceleste’ team in which he commands and generates for his teammates. There are already several games in this line, which suggests that it can become one of the pillars of Atlético soon.
